Ferrari has a unique core values which have been raised to a whole new level in the cars launched to mark the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the Ferrari company.  It is designed for the Ferrari’s most passionate clients. The La Ferrari Aperta is the new limited edition special series model and LaFerrari Aperta is also a supercar.

CHASSIS & BODY SHELL of Ferrari 

Because the car does not have a roof, Ferrari’s technicians had to focus all their ingenuity on the lower section which had to be reinforced because it is subject to different stresses caused by force lines which, in the coupé, converge in the upper part.

Thanks to a series of targeted modifications designed to reinforce that area to cope with the new stresses and allow the LaFerrari Aperta deliver the same torsional rigidity figure and as the LaFerrari is putting the Aperta at the top of supercar category in terms of its dynamic performance.

FUTURISTIC AND ABSOLUTELY EXTREME CAR

Here the LaFerrari Aperta’s styling retains its essential characteristics of the coupe.The only significant difference in LaFerrari is its door rotation system. When fully opened the Aperta’s doors are now at a bit slightly different angle than in the coupe version.

F1 CAR PERFORMANCE

The LaFerrari Aperta’s powertrain is the same as the LaFerrari’s used hybrid technology. It couples an 800 CV 6262cc V12 with a 120 kW (163 CV) electric motor for a total output of over 960 CV.

Thanks to the HYKERS system. It is the most high performance and efficient Ferrari has ever built. Making full use of Ferrari’s F1 expertise with KERS systems further evolved for use on road cars, the HY-KERS guarantees perfect integration of the V12 and the electric motor, seamlessly blending the advantages of both. The high level of torque which is  available at low revs from the electric motor has allowed the engineers to optimise the internal combustion engine’s performance at higher revs. Thus providing exceptional and continuous power throughout the rev range and a maximum torque peak is 900 Nm.

Coupled with the F1 DCT, the electric motor was designed employing High Specific Power Density technology which enabled the engineers to drastically reduce weight and volume in relation to available torque. The result of this is performance figures comparable to those of the F1 cars with the same torque density and the same efficiency of 94% in other words very limited power dissipation.

The batteries consist of 120 cells assembled into eight modules, with a power output that’s the equivalent of 40 traditional batteries but weighing just 60 kg. The batteries of LaFerrari are charged in two different ways: one of the way is under braking and even hard braking when the ABS intervenes, such as when driving on a track and every time the V12 engine produces more torque than the required such as in cornering. In the latter instance rather than being sent to the wheels the excess torque is converted into energy and is stored in the batteries. The Hybrid Power Unit is essentially the HYKERS system brain and controls power delivery from both the V12 engine and the electric motor via two inverters and two DC-DC converters. Variable-frequency control makes torque delivery rapid and precise.

The 6,262 cc V12 engine is the most powerful and naturally aspirated engine ever sported by a road going Ferrari. It punches out 800 hp and spins to 9,250 rpm, to deliver absolutely extraordinary performance, fun behind the wheel and an unmistakable Ferrari sound. These unprecedented results are the product of meticulous honing of the engine’s volumetric, mechanical and combustion efficiency. To boost volumetric efficiency, the V12 engine employs continuously variable length intakes a mainstay in F1 engine technology until banned by rule which optimises performance as a function of engine speed. Similarly the torque and power curves are optimised across its rev range. The hybrid powertrain generates total torque in excess to 900 N-m. The instantaneous torque from the electric motor is employed with lower revs and V12 engine power and torque is optimised at higher revs.

The V12 engine has peak torque of 700 Nm. In fact it is developed at 6,750 rpm.
